# Set up in Claude

> Add LedgerSync to Claude, sign in, and ask your first question.

New to LedgerSync? You create your account when you sign in, in the steps below.

Use [claude.ai](https://claude.ai) on a computer.

<Note>
  **Claude Free plan?** It allows only one added connector. Already added another one? Remove it first.
</Note>

<Note>
  **Claude Team or Enterprise?** Your firm's Claude Owner adds LedgerSync first: **Organization settings**,
  then **Connectors**, then **Add**, then **Custom**, then **Web**. After that you do not add anything: open
  **Connectors**, find **LedgerSync**, click **Connect**, and go to [step 4](#sign-in).
</Note>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Check whether LedgerSync is already there" id="check">
    Open [claude.ai](https://claude.ai). Click **Customize**, then **Connectors**. No menu on the left? Click
    the sidebar button at the top left.

    </Frame>

    Click **Yours**. Is LedgerSync already there?

    * It says **Connected**: go to [step 5](#always-allow).
    * It says **Connect** or **Reconnect**: click it and go to [step 4](#sign-in).
    * It is not there: do the next step.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click the Add to Claude button" id="add">
    <Card title="Add to Claude" icon="plus" href="https://claude.ai/customize/connectors?modal=add-custom-connector&connectorName=LedgerSync&connectorUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.ledgersyncappv2.com%2Fmcp">
      Opens Claude with LedgerSync already filled in.
    </Card>

    Claude opens the **Add custom connector** box. The name **LedgerSync** and the address are already
    filled in.

    Claude also shows a red box: **This connector was suggested by an external link. Verify the name and
    URL are from a developer you trust before adding.** That is expected. Check that the address is
    `https://api.ledgersyncappv2.com/mcp`. Then click **Continue**.

    Your box shows **Add** instead of **Continue**? Do not change anything. Click **Add** and go to
    [step 4](#sign-in).

    <Accordion title="The button did not work? Add it by hand">
      Copy this address. Click the copy icon on the right of the box.

      ```text theme={null}
      https://api.ledgersyncappv2.com/mcp
      ```

      In **Connectors**, click **Add**, then **Add custom connector**.

      Then do the next step.
    </Accordion>

    Claude says this address is already added? Look under **Yours** in [step 1](#check). Not there? Reload
    the page, or sign out of Claude and back in. Then try again.

  <Step title="Click Add" id="click-add">
    Do not change anything on this screen. Click **Add**.

    The LedgerSync sign-in page opens. Type your email or your LedgerSync username. Click **Next**.
    Already signed in to LedgerSync in this browser? You go straight to the **Allow** page.

    * **Your firm uses LedgerSync:** type your LedgerSync password. Click **Sign in**. You use two-step
      sign-in? Type your code and click **Verify**. See **Create your LedgerSync account** instead? Do not
      click it. Click **Change** and type your LedgerSync username.
    * **New to LedgerSync:** the page says **Create your LedgerSync account**. Click **Create account** and
      follow [New to LedgerSync](/ai/new-to-ledgersync). It ends on the **Allow** page below.
    * **Approved developer accounts:** type your developer portal email. LedgerSync sends you to the developer
      portal sign-in. An application still waiting for its first approval cannot connect yet.

    Then click **Allow**.

    Claude asks to access your account. Click **Allow access**. You only see this the first time.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Let Claude read without asking each time" id="always-allow">
    In **Customize**, then **Connectors**, click **LedgerSync**. Next to **Read-only tools**, pick **Always
    allow**.

    </Frame>

    Claude keeps asking before it changes anything, unless you click **Always allow** on one of those
    questions. For changes, click **Allow once**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Test it in a new chat" id="test">
    Click **New**. Ask:

    ```text theme={null}
    Use LedgerSync to check whether my account is ready.
    ```

    Claude does not use LedgerSync? Click **+** in the message box, then **Connectors**, and turn
    **LedgerSync** on.

    LedgerSync now also works in the Claude desktop and phone apps.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Now ask

What the AI answers to the test question:

* It says LedgerSync is ready: ask anything below.
* It says we're reviewing your new firm: add your clients now. Bank connections open after the review.
* Anything else: see [Troubleshooting](/ai/troubleshooting).

### New account? Add your first client

A new LedgerSync account has no clients yet. Add your first one. Acme is an example: use your client's name.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add a client and get a bank link">
    Ask: "Add my client Acme and give me a link to connect their bank."
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the link and connect the bank">
    Open the link. Pick your client's bank and sign in with their bank login. This happens on a LedgerSync
    page, never in the chat.

    Don't have their bank login? Send the link to your client by email or text, and they do it. The link
    works for 3 days.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Ask about their bank">
    When the bank is connected, ask: "Show Acme's bank balances."
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Already use the LedgerSync app? Your clients are already here. Go straight to the examples below.
</Tip>

### More things to ask

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Is a bank supported?" icon="building-columns">
    "Does LedgerSync work with First National Bank?"
  </Card>

  <Card title="Find a client" icon="magnifying-glass">
    "Find my client Acme."
  </Card>

  <Card title="Balances" icon="wallet">
    "Show Acme's bank balances."
  </Card>

  <Card title="Transactions" icon="list">
    "Show last month's transactions for Acme's checking account."
  </Card>

  <Card title="Statements" icon="file-pdf">
    "Get Acme's September bank statement."
  </Card>

  <Card title="Problems" icon="triangle-exclamation">
    "Which of my clients' banks are not working?"
  </Card>

  <Card title="Connect a bank" icon="link">
    "Send Acme a link to connect their bank."
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

<Note>
  **Nobody types a bank password in the chat.** When a bank needs a password, the AI gives you a link to a
  LedgerSync page. The password goes there.
</Note>

<Tip>
  Before the AI changes something, it asks you first. Say yes if it looks right.
</Tip>

A bank needs the LedgerSync desktop app? The AI tells you when a refresh needs it. See
[Banks that need the desktop app](/ai/desktop-app).

To remove LedgerSync from Claude, see [Troubleshooting](/ai/troubleshooting#remove-or-turn-off-ledgersync).

Stuck? Email [support@ledgersync.com](mailto:support@ledgersync.com) with the step and what the screen says.
Never send passwords or card numbers.
